I would also strongly recommend background/ credit check.

I plan on buying subject to and sellng on LO (rent to own) and either bank or seller (me) financing on a wrap.I strongly suggest everyone super educate yourselves from the above list in parallel with your marketing for sellers (the challenge today).How do you find sellers who will via negotiate rent to you while you get financing,,,, then you convert that "yes" into selling via leaving the mortgage in place (subject to):- Listed and long days on market- expired listings- For sale by owner in zillow (look for the click filter for FSBO) and craigslist.  

Small banks are best, meet the loan officer, underwriter is two doors down, often common sense driven and invested in the comunity.Like a car race, you need a great car and a fast driver - or a great bank and a strong loan officer.

I strongly suggest pod cast 250 on here.

The offline and social are often overlooked but powered together they really help compliment your online OTA presence 

If you are interested in home, PM me and I will send over more details, but at the very least, I strongly recommend looking at this neighborhood. 

Hey Jerry,I think your idea to build and invest in your online presence is great to establish your brand!

Build a strong team and it is do able. 

If you’re investing anywhere make sure there’s strong job growth, population growth, and desirability to live.For me, I invest, live, and am a realtor in Columbus, OH which is a great Midwest city that meets the above points of growing job/population and is desirable to live in.

If you go through a bank or credit union, I strongly recommend you use someone local.
